"I mean it's so unfair, he reached out first shouldn't he at least explain the reason he had to bail?" Arabella asked as they walked from the coffee shop to the car. Arabella had been quiet the entire meal after shooting Kieran the death glare and him trying to save himself. This was the first time she broke the silence after answering every one of his requests with a nod or a head shake.She had been thinking about what had happened and she could not seem to find a reliable and suitable explanation for what he had done. Kieran looked at her shocked to hear her voice."It's because he is a jerk" he said and she was shocked such words could come from him. She was even more shocked because it seemed like he was supporting her. "He is?" "Of course, I know guys like him" "You do?" his words did not match his personality so she was not sure if she could take his words for it. "I am a guy so I do know," he said and she looked him up and down. He rushed ahead of her to open up the door

"What did he say?" Kieran asked eager to know what was going on.He just said his wife was in town and that he could not meet with me. Does this mean that he is married already?" Arabella asked trying to wrap her mind around the situation.His fingers had been void of any rings at all so it would be difficult for her to know he was married. He did not say anything about his marriage either."oh my gosh!" Arabella exclaimed loudly. "I feel so stupid" she added in annoyance."Why?" Kieran asked. None of this was her fault. "Were you aware that he had a wife?" he followed up."No," she said shaking her head vigour."Then how does this make you stupid? It's all his fault for leading you on" "I mean I should have picked up on the signs" she said cutting him before he could say anything more."Do you see any signs?" he asked.She paused, took a deep breath and thought of it intently. "I did not but..." "You are too hard on yourself, how would you have known that he was married if he did n

Kieran drove with no destination in mind. Arabella let down the window and let the breeze fill the car. She was not particularly happy about the situation and most importantly she did not like that it happened in front of Kieran but she was glad with the way he handled it. "I want to scream" she murmured gently her face out in the window with the air slapping hard against her skin. "Then scream," Kieran said.She put her head back fully into the car and then gave him a questioning look. "You won't even ask me why?" "Asking you why won't solve the issue at hand and you doing what you want would be better to let you let go easier," he said.His words made sense but she wanted to be comforted. She wanted to call her sister but she knew the girl would want to cuss out the man and demand his number. If she refused to provide his contact details she would go the extra mile to get it. "I just can't believe this happened when I was about to give relationships a try. I mean I had been good

Arabella stared at him and did not know what to say. She had been interested in getting into a relationship but not with him."I don't know what to say," she said and he nodded."I know, you can take your time to think about it" "But..." "What made me ask?" he cut her off asking as if he read her mind."Yes," she said shocked with a nod."I was going to ask for a while now, you know I told you that you intrigue me. Seeing that I almost lost you to that jerk of a boy makes me so sad that I know I must ask you or else I would be cheating myself" he said looking ahead to the road."But..." "Just think about it okay? If you don't want it, I would not pressure you or try to make it uncomfortable for you" he said.He was trying his best to stay calm as possible. He did not plan to ask her this way or anytime soon. He had wanted to watch himself a bit more. He wanted to see and know if he was over Kimberly or if seeing her was just some way of nature playing a prank on him. She was the c

Arabella rushed into the house as soon as they made it in time. She went up into her room with Everly on her tail. "Wait up" Everly said before Arabella could get the door shut in her face."Oh Everly I did not see you there" Arabella said holding the door for the woman to come in."I noticed your mind was not with you, I have been following you and trying to catch up with you from downstairs but it seems like you are in a hurry" Everly said getting into the room. "I love what you have done with your room," Everly said looking around."Thank you," Arabella said. She put in a little decor to match what Everly had already done there. She kept bringing in the decor one after the other and this was the first time Everly was seeing the finished work."It's so simple and chic" Everly said taking her seat on the bed."Can I take a quick shower?" Arabella asked."Of course, I would wait right here" Everly responded. "You said you were going to tell me all I needed to know about my trip" Eve

"Kieran did?" Everly asked shifting in the bed. "Yes," Arabella said nodding."Are you sure?" Everly asked. Before Kimberly came his way he had no one and after her, he also did not have anyone near him.She had watched him grow up and had never seen him near any woman. Parents were the ones who tried to keep their kids away from relationships but Kieran was a different case. She was always trying to get him to make friends or be in a relationship. "He said it today while we were out," Arabella said."Hold on, let me process my thoughts" Everly stood her feet and began to pace the entire floor of the room. "Kieran?" she asked again before standing still and facing Arabella."I mean I should be happy that he is getting into a relationship or that he wants to get into a relationship" she said crossing her hands over her chest. "But my mind can't seem to comprehend it" "I don't know why he asked me but he had said something about being interested in me for a while now" "Oh wow this i

"Yeah follow your heart, I am sure it's saying something and if it isn't yet then maybe you need to listen just a little bit more" Everly said.Arabella wanted to say something but she decided against it. "I know I should not say this because it would put a lot of pressure on you but I would be glad if you became my son's girlfriend but I won't be mad at you if you don't" Everly said."I guess I have to think about it for a few more days" Arabella responded and Everly nodded."But what about Mark?" Everly asked.Arabella let out a sigh and explained what Mark had done. She explained the entire situation and how it led to Kieran getting to ask her out."What? Oh my god, he is such a red flag" Everly let out with disgust in her voice. "I'm pissed but I am also glad I got to know before the relationship went further than it is," Arabella said. Everly nodded in agreement. If Arabella had become his girlfriend then it would have been a lot worse for her to detach herself from him."I am g

Everly took off early and asked no one to see her off as she went to the airport for her trip. Arabella left as soon as Everly left, she was not going to ride with Kieran until she was sure what answer she wanted to give him. She did not want to have to go through the awkwardness of the day.Since she was a bit early she decided to take coffee in the coffee shop close to the office building. Her phone rang while she gently sipped on her coffee while waiting for the working hours to start."I feel like you have news for me," Seraphina said as soon as the call connected."Well hello to you too, I am fine thank you so much for asking, I am just currently taking coffee while waiting for the long tortuous day to begin" Arabella said with an eye roll."I know all that without having to see or ask you" Seraphina said."Where are you?" "Just getting off work, I have been so busy with the new group that is going to debut next month and it's been hell trying to make the interns do their job" S

"Kieran? The same Kieran?" Seraphina let out a squeal, she was unable to control her expression and joy. "How did it happen? Tell me every single detail" Seraphina squealed once more attracting the attention of everyone around them. She was the least bothered about them and just wanted to know how her sister went from one man doing her dirty to another being at her beck and call."I must say it seems like changing states did you good" Seraphina said without letting her sister say anything. "What do you mean did me good?" "I mean, while you were it seemed like you always lived an invisible life but all of a sudden a few months after staying away from home you have had two suitors and remarkable men at that" "Mark was a married man" Arabella chipped in."Screw Mark, he is not the one I am talking about" Seraphina said and Arabella let out a laugh. She knew that she would not have let Mark live it down if she did not have other news to cover up the effect of the Mark situation."I wa

What?" Kieran stood in awe as he watched her bend to her knees to catch her breath. " Answer to what?" he asked.She took a deep breath and stood up straight looking him straight in the eyes. " My answer to your question is yes" "Yes?" he asked shocked. If he was being honest he expected her to turn him down but here she was accepting him."Yes," she said as if she was reassuring him. "What made you change your mind?" "Change my mind?" she asked."Yeah, I was definitely sure you were going to turn me down" "Why were you so sure?" she asked him and he pretended to think stroking his chin gently."For starters, you ran away from me last night and this morning you were quick to leave the house so we didn't get to meet each other. I was even going to apologize" he said.She looked at him, his claims were right from all he had said. She did run away and she was tending to reject him even though she claimed she was only thinking about it. In reality, thinking that she might be hurt she
